pink & grey baby shower

A little caveat before I start with the pictures: it's really hard to photograph and host a party at the same time.  And even harder, when your sister's home (the party location) is lit with the weirdest, most yellow-est bulbs ever :)  Seriously, I'm buying her all new ones.

Sooo, my baby sister Nadia is having a girl - and once she nailed down the baby room colors, we set out to create a matching party.  There are A LOT of pictures, so settle in!

Things to look out for:

• desserts in all shades of pink
• pink, grey and white hanging tissue paper lanterns - we got the tutorial from the great Martha Stewart
• Nadia's mommy-to-be "belly award"
• tiny notecards and envelopes, where guests could leave a note for our showered mama.

I covered styrofoam balls with either strips of fabric, or punch flowers and nested them onto candle holders for our table's centerpiece.

I printed this simple game onto regular white cardstock, and then embellished it a bit with my own stamps and inks.

Nadia's hubs kept looking around after the party, saying: "I really hope it's a girl, with all this pink!"  We had
a great time.

Oh, and I made favors!  A set of 4 handmade cards for each of the 16 guests.... you do the math:

I'd love to know what you think of our party!  Thanks for peeking!
